Posted September 16, 2020 Something needs to be done to balance the distribution of Rite casting on the Northern Freedom servers. Either some period of cooldown, or a shared pool or cast across the servers. Players shouldn't get such a massive SB advantage just for living on a larger, more populated server. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could always just sail over during the 24 hour window and pray there to get the sleep bonus, if you don't want to live there permanently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just make it so everyone has to sail to a different server to claim the bonus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 16, 2020 I assume the last two reply are coming from players that live on the server where they do not have to sail to get the benefit of rites. Now that is a bias reply.

Now that is a bias reply. "Tedious for other is fine... as long as it does not become tedious for me." I assume that those complaining do not care a lot about extra SB and ML (or whatever) boost. I have been sailing to every RoS I got aware, though it is quite a way from G13 Xanadu to next server. And I fail to see why it should be so much harder for anyone else. Those on the smaller servers may have much shorter ways to reach the next servers' shores, and I do not complain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now that is a bias reply. "Tedious for other is fine... as long as it does not become tedious for me." My deed is located about 30 minutes from server border, give or take 10 depending on weather. I have sailed to harmony for every cast, prayed immediately after crossing, then gone back. Gives a nice break from grinding and work, and rewards with a free 5 hours of sb. This is the weirdest, most meaningless thing to be whining about. There's far more important things for them to be working on. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 17, 2020 So, Harmony launches and is supper laggy, so new servers get launched to help reduce the overload of Harmony. Tons of people leave to new servers with lower population, so they can skill faster without all the lag, then the old bloated server does some rites and now people form the less laggy servers are jealous? Go figure. Honestly, the current system is soooo much better than what it was before. If you do ANYTING to improve rites, I'd suggest having prayers create a popup to "do you want your SB now?" or if not that, maybe just right click the rite icon in spell effects to choose to receive your reward of SB. Just having it happen on the first prayer really catches folks by surprise. 5hrs of SB is not a trivial thing. Making huge mistakes with it is pretty frustrating.

Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) Guys, I'm really bad at math Server Rite of Spring Holy Crop Ritual of the Sun Xanadu 42 56 147 Release 69 105 110 Pristine 46 133 1 Independence 72 32 190 Exodus 23 114 107 Deliverance 75 44 Celebration 93 160 140 Total 420 644 695 Average time between cast 9 days 14 days 19 days Regardless, I don't think travelling between servers matters. It just seems as though Vyn and Lib have their global spells cast far more frequently across the board (unless you include Chaos).

Posted September 17, 2020 Server hopping to pray is a bit of a chore; but it's not too bad compared to the other wurm chores. One could walk the middle ground by extending the time limit to pray? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 17, 2020 Rites are reset by prayers and sermons a few priests grinding for benediction makes a big difference and that is likely one of the reasons it resets so fast on harmony. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think people aren't grinding for benediction on all of the Northern Isles. It's not clear what is happening on Harmony that they're having a disproportionate # of RoS casts.

Posted September 17, 2020 I know of at least 2 on harmony, not sure if many others are but there are more vynora priests and sermon groups that I know on harmony. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
